lol you dont blend your vocals in the beat by eq'ing them, you blend them when you mix them down, and yes you do want reverb on your vocals, dry vocals sound like shit, and dont use presets for reverb cuz all the presets have way too much reverb, a good tip is to lower the reverb sound and gradually turn it up until you faintly hear the tinty sound.....sshhh dont tell anyone that cuz its a well kept industry secret......lol

omg... im not even responding to this

and absense is right about making vocals sound warm but not muddy... and about condenser over dynamic, but that is all done with eq also... and little eq should be needed anyway if the emcee is experienced, you want to edit vocals as little as possible because the goal is to make them sound as good as possible while maintaining your original sound, if you know how too play the mic right and add charisma through a good delivery and well done adlibs then you'll sound tight already

the only reason why you feel the need for reverb is because you think the vocals are lacking something, and its experience
